The call to artists and people
generally is to embrace both art and advocacy, use their synergy,
and advance toward a thriving future.

Advanced are
mission-driven values - creating and sustaining large positive
change and a thriving future, reducing human vulnerability,
maximizing human potential, saving our environment, and living at
"peace on and with the earth." Underlying isdriving desire to "build
a thriving future for all forever".

Toward that end,
Thrive! sculpture help drive toward a positive vision of the
future. They portray strong driving forces -- desire for knowledge,
spirit and justice. Sculpture supports continuous striving for
absolute knowledge, absolute spirit and perfected being with full
recognition this is an inevitable, unending, inspiring and
liberating human enterprise.

Positive,
progressive change has many expressions -- becoming, ascending,
quantum leaps, and achieving a high state of being. Change itself is
often not positive or linear. Vulnerability, conflict and chaos are
realities. Such change requires strong support - shepherding,
nurturing, and sheltering.

To create the
progressive art, sculptures are created from most basic of elements.
Lines represent beginning, negative, or threat. Curves represent
change, transition, or evolution. Circles represent being,
wholeness, or, at times, nothingness.

When these basic
elements join and are in motion as mobiles and stabiles, they carry
the message of "large, creative and sustainable change," a strong
optimistic expression of the human condition, living in peace on and
with the earth, and the driving mission of building a thriving
future.
